Okay, so I understand that the people who designed the building we all work in failed in the placement of the bathrooms. I also understand that becuase of where they located the other bathrooms, the majority of us all wind up using the same undersized bathroom. Furthermore I understand that there are too few urinals so many of us wind up standing in a stall. What I don’t understand is why you can’t lift the seat when you urinate so that the splash doesn’t coat the seat with a near-invisible film that, in the ridiculously low amount of light in the bathroom, goes unobserved until I sit my ass down to dump my load.
sigh Why should I always have to wipe the seat down when I want to use the toilet?
well, lifting the seat may take effort, and some people just cannot be bothered with something so trivial as lifting a seat. Also, that would require them to touch the seat, which may already be contaminated, so why bother using your hand when you can just pee all over it, thus adding to the contamination?
Or perhaps your co-workers just have terrible aim.
Why can’t these inconsiderate _____________, (Dopers, please fill in the blank with your favorite adjective/expletive), and demonstrate a little common courtesy? Well, I’ll tell you why. It’s because they didn’t have the opportunity to spend approximately 18.5 years interned in Momma Toad’s Acadamy of Social Graces.
My pearl of wisdom. Take note of this, it will get you far.
Never, never, never just sit down on a public toilet seat. NEVER. Always inspect it. If they provide those disposable paper toilet seat covers, use them. If they don’t, take some toilet paper, wet it in the sink, use some soap, clean up the seat - do whatever you need to do before you plop yourself down to do your business. Do this EVERY time, you won’t regret it.
